Os course the man was present who is ever ready to supply a word when a speaker hesitates. The famous artist, landing with both hands as if he had just dropped from the ceiling, exclaimed, ’•Harmony!” All applauded the perfect concord. He shot down again, like a triphammer, and would have exclaimed again, but the word refused to come. “What you call—er-er"- “Discord,”put In the supplier of words. Paderewski’s hair stood straight out, and his face was white and red with anger. Jumping up from the stool, he sputtered: “Deescort! No! With me a deescort iss eempossible!” He would not be persuaded to touch the instrument again that night. The unintentional insult struck deep. Queer Guldftah. Beautiful and most interesting of all goldfish is a native of Japan, and it is noted for the beauty of its tail and the abnormal length of its tins. The tail resembles a delicate veil, and the fins are developed to such an extent that it is impossible for the fish to make rapid progress in the water. It is therefore solely on account of its beauty that it is prized and because in this respect it differs widely from other varieties of goldfish, such as the “telescope fish,” the eyes of wnieii bulge out of the head in most unsightly fashion; the "celestial eyed fish,” which is also uncomely because its eyes are Iffillet shaped and are ever turned skyward, and the “egg fish,” which is so called because its body is somewhat amorphous, but resembles an eae more than anything else. Children Draw Color Line. Madison. Ind., Jan. 20.—A colored family moved into West Madison a few days ago. where there is no school for colored children, and started two children to the white school.

The commencement exercises of the high school had passed off with entire success, and at the request of the prinI clpal the diplomas had been delivered by Colonel Wye. president of the school board, a worthy but somewhat pompous citizen, to whom nothing had ever happened to shake bis high opiulon of i himself. At the close of the proceedings the ! principal, with the praiseworthy purpose of saying something complimentary to his eminent colaborer in the 1 cause of education, took occasion to observe: “You acquitted yourself finely, colonel. Your remarks were well chosen.” “Well chosen!” echoed the colonel, turning red. “I want you*to under stand, sir. that those remarks were not ‘chosen’ at all.

I dreamed a dream the other night; Before me stood a angel robed in white. And beckoned me to follow in his flight. , Thought I. an angel always must be right I They will not lead a mortai in a plight, iSo therefore I recovered from my fright; And only in my scanty night clothes dight. While always gazing at the radience bright, I climbed with strides as rapid as a kite; We came at last into a brilliant light, To find ourselves within Satan's might. But here we met the gloomy Azrael, Whose visits to the earth we all know well; To him said my protector, Gabriel, “From you we wish to get the keys of hell,” To which the Lord of Death replied full well, “Inquire of Mother Sin adown this dell.” The keys we got and came into the place And Satan stood before our very face. “What would ye here, to thus so idly gaze And watch the torment of the seventh blaze?” With curses toward my tender, watchful guide. Who smiled and to his arch-foe replied, “We hear that Mr. Merrell doth here abide, And that the sight of mortal in his pride Will cure the sins he had before he died.” “Oh quit my sight,” the poor old Iblis cried, “Take Mammon street, third house on other side.” We found the place and there sat Mr. Merrell, With drum sticks and an empty cracker barrel. We learned he played the part of secopd Basle And spent his time with epics lyrical, And beating all the imps there were j pell-mell. He thanked tne for my help, and when away, He vowed that being wicked doesn't pay And promised on his faith to sing and pray, ® To let the students have a little play. However true this incident did seem, I awoke and found it was a happy dream. A StI’+DENT. 3
